What you need to know about flow batteries
Flow batteries offer a new freedom in the design of energy handling. The flow battery concept permits to adjust electrical power and stored energy capacity independently.
PVDF has stood out in the lithium battery industry and become the preferred material with its advantages such as excellent bonding properties, good dispersibility, chemical stability, flame retardant properties, wide operating temperature range and enhanced battery diaphragm performance.
It is the second most produced fluoro resin after PTFE and is widely used in weather-resistant coatings, injection molding, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic backsheet films. As new energy industries like lithium batteries and photovoltaics grow rapidly, the demand for PVDF is increasing, especially for lithium battery applications.
Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is one of the most widely used binders for both the cathode and anode in lithium batteries, drawing significant attention from researchers. PVDF has a broad electrochemical stability window, maintaining stable electrochemical performance from 0 to 5V (Li/Li+).
Copolymer modification is the most commonly used method for preparing PVDF binders in batteries. VDF is often copolymerized with fluorinated or non-fluorinated monomers to obtain functional binders. For instance, copolymerizing with fluorinated monomers like hexafluoropropylene and tetrafluoroethylene can enhance the flexibility of the resin.
Large quantities of active materials are needed to store the generated energy in grid-scale EES systems. Vanadium and lithium metals are not abundant resources, and therefore sodium and zinc are being considered as alternative materials for use in flow batteries.
In addition to being a binder, PVDF can also be used to prepare battery separators. Its high porosity and stable electrochemical properties help to improve the permeability of the diaphragm and the wettability to the electrolyte, thereby enhancing the safety and performance of the battery.
